Man shares experience after error data transfer

In order to salvage the situation, he reached out to the owner of the number, whom he discovered was a lady, to explain what had happened, but she said there was nothing she could do to help him.

"I tried to buy data of 300GB from Airtel. I mistakenly credited another person’s line. Mine ends with “2”, hers with 6. I called her in the morning, explained myself and sent receipt to her, she claimed I was trying to scam her but after I explained properly, she said there’s nothing she could do about it and that I should stop stressing her."

Seeing that she said that and also wasn't responding to his texts, he decided to adopt a strategy that helped him recover what rightfully belonged to him.

"She wouldn’t reply my texts too. I wanted to let it go until it struck me that this person was not even making attempts to return what is not theirs. So I called the customer care, gave them the transaction ID and other details requested, they reversed the 50k last night as airtime and I did my data all over. Good riddance."

@ToluwalaseR said:

"When we talk about integrity, many people are guilty of this. They don't think about the end result of their actions. To her, she felt she had seen awof by claiming what was not hers. Thank God you got a reversal. She can now call the service providing company to lament if she can."

@franka_official noted:

"And she is praying for good governance when she deserves what she is getting..That was how the money in my naira account disappeared because my number has been assigned to someone else and the person probably received the alert and took airtime of 30k from the money."

@Pharmzeezee noted:

"A lot of Nigerians are like this though. Especially when it comes to mistakenly crediting people's account. I have spoken to people who seem to think it's a blessing from God. Someone somewhere is probably crying for their hard earned money and you say it's a blessing?"
